We are proud to kick off our first Care Partner Connections (CPC) class of 2026! 💜

This first session focuses on introducing the Dementia Friendly movement and what it means for our community here in York County.

Being a Dementia Friendly community means creating a place where individuals living with dementia—and those who care for them—feel understood, supported, and included. It’s about turning awareness into action.

Through our CPC series, we are working to:
🧠 Build knowledge and understanding of dementia
🤝 Reduce stigma and foster compassion
🏡 Equip caregivers with real-life tools and techniques
🌎 Engage local businesses and community members in becoming part of the solution

Together, we are creating a stronger, more supportive York County—one connection at a time.

Thank you to everyone who will be joining us for this important first step. We’re excited for what’s ahead!
Thanks WellSpan Health!

At YWCA York, keeping women, families, and children safe is at the heart of everything we do. Throughout the month of May, we’ll be sharing important tips, resources, and reminders about water safety—from pools and rivers to splash pads.

Drowning is preventable, and small steps can make a big difference. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, swimmer, or community member, learning water safety helps protect the people we love.

Follow along all month as we swim into:
✔️ Water safety tips for all ages
✔️ Supervision and swimming best practices
✔️ Resources to help keep families safe

Together, we can build safer, stronger communities—on land and in the water. 💙
